How ingenious, asking historians to prove a negative. But then, he is a politician, right?
Malay Mail Online @themmailonline
MALACCA, May 9 — Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron said historians and academicians must prove that Hang Tuah is a myth, and not depend on disclaimers and theories.
“People who say that Hang Tuah is a mythical figure must provide concrete proof. If they cannot do so, they should stop questioning Hang Tuah’s existence and not turn into a polemic that benefits no one,” he told Bernama here.
Historian Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim reportedly said a DNA test should be done to prove whether the existence of Hang Tuah was just a myth.
Meanwhile, Prof Dr Ahmat Adam accepted there existed such an admiral in the Malacca Sultanate, but rejected the admiral was Hang Tuah.
The historian claimed that the Malays suffered from inferiority complex and thus needed a hero in the form of Hang Tuah.

…
The current attempts to prove the existence of Hang Tuah may be described as grasping at straws.
And they want a million ringgit to further their research and further their careers?

Another panelist, state Malaysian History Association secretary Jamil Jaamat, said Hang Tuah existed because the latter’s family genealogy could be seen and studied to this day.

#ICYMI: Give us RM1m to prove Hang Tuah existed, researchers say http://bit.ly/1OzakFh
MALACCA, Dec 17 — A group of researchers is looking for funding of more than RM1 million to continue with its project to prove the existence Hang Tuah.
Project leader, Dr Rohaidah Kamarudin, from the Malay Language Department, Faculty of Modern Language and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia, said the group had spent about RM35,000, from their own pockets, on the project, carried out since a year ago.
“The fund is needed because there are a lot more to be done to prove Hang Tuah’s existence, including to look for the necessary evidence, like in Indonesia, Turkey and Japan, and to conduct DNA tests on them,” she told reporters after a forum on the existence of Hang Tuah here today. It was opened by Malacca State Assembly Speaker Datuk Othman Muhammad.

The article, which quotes Universiti Malaya’s Prof Dr Ahmat Adam, said Hang Tuah was a fictional character that existed in the classic texts of Sejarah Melayu and Hikayat Hang Tuah only, therefore claims of a finding of a grave and artifact related to him need more in-depth research .
“The character of Hang Tuah was already mentioned in Hikayat Hang Tuah which was written before Sejarah Melayu, so it was a character that was borrowed into the copy,” said Ahmat in the Berita Harian report.

Hang Tuah (Jawi:هڠ تواه) was a legendary Malay warrior who lived in Malacca during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah in the 15th century. He was supposedly the most powerful of all the laksamanas, or admirals, and is considered by the Malays to be one of history’s greatest silat masters. Hang Tuah is held in the highest regard, even in present-day Malay culture, and is arguably the most well-known and illustrious warrior figure in Malay history and literature.

Hang Tuah real, met Da Vinci and wrote to ruler of Ryukyu kingdom: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/projekmmo/berita/article/bukan-mitos-hang-tuah-jumpa-da-vinci-tulis-surat-ke-jepun … Gavin Menzies-level stuff.
KUALA LUMPUR, 6 Dis — Hang Tuah bukan hanya legenda tetapi wujud nyata, malah pahlawan Melaka yang terkenal itu pernah bertemu Leonardo da Vinci, artis dan ahli sains terkenal Itali zaman itu.
Laksamana Hang Tuah juga dilaporkan pernah menulis surat rasmi kepada Maharaja Ryukyu di Jepun pada abad ke-15.
Dua ahli akademik Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Dr Rohaidah Kamaruddin dan Dr Hashim Musa mendedahkan maklumat terbaru dalam ‘Wacana Manuskrip Melayu ― Hang Tuah: Daripada Mitos Kepada Fakta Sejarah’ di sini beberapa hari lalu.
Harian Metro semalam melaporkan catatan di dalam buku Notes of Leonardo da Vinci mengenai pertemuan antara da Vinci, pelukis potret tersohor Mona Lisa, dengan Hang Tuah antara 1503 hingga 1506.
Dalam catatan itu, lapor akhbar itu lagi, da Vinci menulis “saya melukis kenderaan selepas berjumpa dengan orang kaya Melaka” dan perkataan selepas itu tidak jelas sama ada disebut laksamana atau Hang Tuah.

‘Hang Li Po, Hang Tuah did not exist’
Historian Prof Khoo Kay Kim says that the Ming dynasty’s records do not mention the princess or the famous warrior. He also points out that early Malaysian history is based on stories.
PETALING JAYA: According to history, Chinese Princess Hang Li Po was the fifth wife of Malaccan Sultan Mansur Shah who reigned from 1456-1477.
During this period, there was also the legend of the Sultan’s five famous warriors, Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu. It is a tale of friendship and loyalty, which every Malaysian had heard.
However, renowned historian Prof Khoo Kay Kim told radio station BFM this morning that Hang Li Po and the five warriors never existed.
Speaking to FMT later, he explained: “The Chinese Ming dynasty of the 16th century does not have records on them. These are very well preserved records.”
The KDU college chancellor also said he had read the writings of two Western historians and another prominent historian Wang Gung Wu on the Ming records which did not mention the characters either.
“History must be based on empirical records. Historians must only accept written records,” he said, adding that empirical records available here were at best “skanky”.
“There is no evidence in the Malaysian records,” he said. “These are stories. Early Malaysian history is based on stories.”
“We have had many stories. Only recently historians have taken the trouble to research the early Malaysian history period. A lot of stories accepted in the past cannot be proven,” he added.
